Covid-19 Wedding Postponement Checklist

Sending a hug to you as well!


We haven’t had to cancel or postpone just yet, but the first thing you would want to do is check with the venue first to see what days they have available or if you have a date in mind if that is open. Once they confirm, start working down the line of other vendors that are most important to you both - photographer, DJ, catering, hair, makeup, etc.
Best of luck!

Watch this video. It should help you out! She is a wedding planner in Southern California.

I made a list of all my vendors. So venue, photographer, officiant, Men's Wearhouse, and the hotel we are staying at and have a room block for. We are going to wait until the first week of April to decide one way or another (wedding is May 9th). Once we reschedule everything with the vendors we are going to notify all of our guests. I went on canva.com and created a "change the date" card. We are going to text/email them instead of spending more money on postage.

Hope this helps and so sorry you had to reschedule!
